The Florida State Statutes that
govern and regulate the Notary Public are: Chapter 117 (Notary Public);
Chapter 695 (Record of Conveyance of Real Estate); and Chapter 97-241
(Florida International Notary).
The Florida Notary Public is bonded for $7500. The Florida Notary
Public uses an “inking seal” for paper documents (the “seal embosser”
is not required by law but may be needed for documents sent out of the
country). Thumb-printing, although not required by law, is being used
more and more to help deter fraud.

Florida Notary Fees (maximum, by law)
The Notary Public has the option to charge or not to charge for their
services, or any fees up to the maximum. Overcharging more than the
legally prescribed fees is reason for the Governor to suspend a
Notary’s commission (Statues, Section 117.01 [4][I]).
The “travel fees” charged by a Notary are not specified by law. Such
fees should be charged only if the Notary and signer agree beforehand
on the amount to be charged. The signer should understand that a travel
fee is not stipulated in law and is a private arrangement separate from
the notarial fees described herein.
